BattleBots Extreme: how would your fight card look?
Classic Robot Wars had two spin-off 'Extreme' series involving wrestling-style side events rather than a single main championship. If BattleBots ever took on this idea (I think it would be excellent), what might an episode schedule look like?
Historical events included:
Vengence: head-to-head grudge match
Challenge Belt: head-to-head belt title, the winner of each fight taking or keeping the belt
Tag Team Terror: two-vs-two tag-team fights, traditionally breaking down into four-way madness
Wild Card Warriors: head-to-head novice-versus-veteran fights
Mayhem: three-way qualifier match for an Annihilator
Annihilator: multi-round six-way competition in which multiple bots fight at once and each round ends as soon as one competitor is elimated (immobilised, OOTA'd etc); the remaining combatants fight in the next round, onwards until one remains
World Championship: side championship involving international representatives
... and assorted one-off fights and championships, such as:
'Championships' for other weightclasses (usually big rumbles)
New Blood: side championship for novice competitors, the prize being qualification for the next main season
All-Stars: side championship involving seasoned veterans
Themed melees: rumbles where all participants have the same weapon type, are from the same country, have similar jobs (e.g. armed forces, universities) etc.
